m markland skip to primary content skip to secondary content vinland heritage ôðalism markland search main menu home about post navigation older posts another obscured mistletoe posted on october 19 2015 by frederik blanchet 17 dear pagan readers today i will introduce you to a tree parasite just as important as the mistletoe for the pagans living close to the arctic circle the documentation about this sacred tree parasite regarding mythology in ancient times is almost non existant for the pagan tribes using it had a very strong oral tradition but an almost non existant written tradition these were mostly druidic tribes like the gaels gauls etc and we all know that invasions conquests and assimilations did not left much information about their lore and myths their knowledge and vast wisdom but i did my best to gather the available knowledge on the subject the host tree i already discussed in an earlier article the birch tree the celtic birch or beith played a spiritual role in the lives of our gaelic ancestors symbolising renewal and purification beith was the first letter b in the early medieval celtic tree alphabet or ogham and also represented the first month of the celtic year the birch was part of the celebration during the festival of samhain what is now halloween held from sunset on 31 october to sunset on 1 november which marked the culmination of summer and the harvest period with the onset of winter during this period besoms or brooms made of birch twigs were used to drive out the spirits of the old year in anticipation of the return of spring and a new awakening the birch tree or lady of the woods represented fertility and new birth and in this way echoed norse mythology where the birch is dedicated to thor and also to the goddess frigga the goddess of marriage childbirth and motherhood a besom wedding was a marriage ceremony also referred to as jumping the broom where the besom would be held over the doorway of the couple s home and the couple would jump over it and then be married it is still possible to jump the broom as part of a traditional highland wedding ceremony today birch was also featured prominently in the may day festival of beltane the fires of beltane were kindled with birch twigs and fertility dances would be performed around an often living birch maypole to ensure health and abundant crops there are a variety of medicinal and even beautifying properties attributed to different parts of the birch tree by folklore and herbalism the astringent leaves have diuretic and antiseptic properties consumed as a tea the leaves were and still are used as a remedy for cystitis and other urinary tract infections they were also used to dissolve kidney stones and relieve rheumatism and gout the sap as discussed in an earlier article was given for kidney and gall bladder stones and also for rheumatism and gout women in the highlands were known to use birch sap as a hair shampoo and even to rinse their hair with an infusion of spring birch twigs both birch tea and sap contain significant amounts of vitamin c the bark when soaked in hot water was applied to the body to ease muscle pain the ancient practice of dry distilling birch bark also produces an oil or birch tar which contains antiseptic compounds or phenols which are highly concentrated in chaga oups i just gave the clue making it useful for the treatment of skin wounds or infections there is evidence of birch tar chewing gum being used thousands of years ago to treat gum infections birch tar is still regarded as an effective treatment for acne eczema psoriasis and dandruff birch tar soap certainly has a very pungent though not unpleasant antiseptic smell the tender inner layer of birch bark known as the cambium can also be made into a surprisingly delicious and refreshing tea or even ground down into a flour for baking but historically it has been used mostly when the crops were bad so the birch tree has great importance in celtic folklore and medicine and can even be consumed as a food no wonder chaga mushroom the sacred mushroom which concentrates within it the therapeutic phytonutrients of the birch whilst adding a myriad of its own is such a powerful medicinal mushroom what we call chaga is the dense black mass 25 40 cm large that can be seen on the outside of trees almost exclusively birches infected with the fungus inonotus obliquus it is not a fruiting body meant for spreading spores the final stage in the life of many mushrooms but a dense sterile mass of mycelia with decayed bits of birch tissue incorporated when chopped from the tree the interior has a rusty yellow brown color somewhat granular in appearance and is often mottled with whitish or cream colored veins the hard deeply cracked black outside of the chaga is called the sclerotium this is important because this sclerotium contains a massive amount of a specific fungi melanin giving a very high level of anti oxidants and turning chaga into powerful anti aging tool typically well developed chaga sclerotia are found on trees over 40 years of age but the infection starts earlier the period from initial infection to tree death varies with the number of infection sites and tree resistance but is typically around 20 years after about 3 5 years the chaga can be harvested after harvesting chaga can regrow to harvestable size again in three to ten years and this can be repeated until the tree dies chopping off the chaga does not stop the infection chaga tea was used for the treatment of an upset stomach and intestinal pains such a decoction was and still is especially popular among hunters and foresters since this drink alleviates hunger removes tiredness refreshes and increases work capacity chaga tea is also used as a means of improving the general tone patients were and still are frequently recommended to use chaga extracts when it was necessary to reduce the arterial or venous blood pressure chaga infusions were and still are also used for the treatment of periodontitis eczema dermatitis and psoriasis inhalations of chaga with other herbs are until today being used to reduce inflammations in the nasopharynx and to facilitate breathing chaga was also used in agriculture in particular in animal breeding adding chaga to the ration of pigs stimulates the growth of piglets and accelerates the weight gain of fatteners chaga has also been used as a plant growth stimulator like fertilizer chaga develops best in very cold regions and it appears that the more harsh the climate and the swings in temperature the better the therapeutic quality of the chaga harsh climate birch forest high chaga potential chaga was and is still used for general well being internal cleaning we would call it detoxing and curing and preventing disease in general but in particular for liver problems heart problems tuberculosis and to get rid of parasitic worms it was prepared as a tea method of preparation cut up dried chaga put it into boiling water boil for several minutes three cm3 were used for 2 5 l of tea and the tea was drunk until the ailment was cured the chaga was also used to make soap water to make soap water the fungus was first put into the fire when it turned red like smoldering charcoal it was put into a bucket of hot water and then stirred until it broke into small pieces the black water thus obtained has a strong cleaning and disinfecting ability this soap water was used to wash the genitals of women during menstruation and after birth sometimes new born babies were also washed it can be compared to the effect of a kmno4 solution potassium permanganate a disinfectant used in russia to wash new borns the first three months after their birth and stated that women who washed themselves with such water never took ill in older times it had been used instead of soap to wash the hands feet and sometimes also the whole body chaga was also burned and the smoke was inhaled its purpose was ritual cleaning as you can see the chaga was an essential for survival in the northern regions it s multitude of purposes and benefits and the hunt linked to it s harvest clearly justify his sacred status about the hunt i guess the fact that 1 birch tree out of 10000 bears chaga justify calling the harvest a hunt for our ancestors to have found a chaga was likely to have been a greater discovery than that of finding gold thus the chaga beholder was probably seen as some kind of savior and must have been honored by the whole tribe for the survival and wealth of their tribe was secured by the chaga i highly recommend you to use it on a daily basis if you manage achieve a successful hunt hail and joy fred posted in uncategorized 17 replies the bear cult and the worldview in the stone age 2

frederik blanchet reply posted in uncategorized leave a reply helen s golden tears posted on april 30 2014 by frederik blanchet 15 dear pagan readers today let s talk about a very powerful aromatic plant which everyone knows and which many of you probably eat to on a daily basis it is still widely used and considered in our kitchen and herbal medicine of nowadays but not even as half as it was back in antiquity this plant was considered sacred among ancient europeans and his name was synonymous with courage and bravery in ancient greece ancient greeks believed this plant and its extracts could restore vigor and mental acuity they burned it as a religious incense to give them courage in battle it was also burned as an incense at funerals and placed in the burial mound of the dead even gaius plinius secundus circa 23 79 a c e better known as pliny the elder said that when it is burned it puts to flight all venomous creatures moreover at the time of knights ladies embroidered a bee buzzing around a sprig of thyme on the scarf of the knights it was meant to make them remember that they should always bring fairness and kindness in their activities and that it would give them courage and strength a kind of silent memory from the distant past thyme was used throughout the ancient world the egyptians applied it in the mummification process the greeks burnt it as incense in sacred temples and romans treated the depression with it the ancient egyptians used thyme in the making of their embalmment preparation because of his antiseptic virtue and aroma it was also used to perfume and purify the sacred greek temples and public bath for the same reason and the romans were pretending to cure depression by eating and burning it as said earlier thyme is linked with bees and honey bees appreciate thyme flowers a lot and mediterranean thyme honey is among the most tasty and reputated honey around the world during the middle ages a sprig of thyme was placed under the pillow to induce sleep and to prevent nightmares according to another folk belief fairies supposedly love thyme throughout europe people used to plant large beds of thyme to attract fairies in a midsummer nights dream shakespeare referenced that folk association when writing that titania the queen of the fairies often went to a bank whereon the wild thyme blows my grand mother told me once oh such beautiful memories i keep of the hikes through the hills of spain and italy when we found blooming bushes of thyme what flavor what strength and power which emerged from small leaves that look more like needles indeed when it grows in its place of origin thyme is picked pretty dry but with a concentration that we do not get here in our wetter and colder climate it is the enemy of the toxines because it is a powerful antiseptic thus said armand trousseau 1801 1867 the famous french doctor who performed the first tracheotomy in paris this claim as been clinically proven nowadays as you can see thyme is a thousand purposes plant symbol of purity and courage throughout the ages after all it s pretty normal that this plant is highly considered for so long when we learn that it is born from the silent tear drop of the most beautiful of all women on earth thymus vulgaris as told in the iliad is born from the tear drop of ἑλένη της σπάρτα better known as helen of troy one of the three iconic sorceresses in the pagan initiation ritual in fact thyme is one of the secret lore given to the initiate by the sorceress a gift to strengthen the may king s hamingja for a person said to smell of thyme meant someone of admirable style activity and energy as you may have understand the iliad is in fact a description of the pagan initiation ritual but that is another subject that i will eleborate in future articles once again i ask you all will you refuse such a beautiful gift given to us by a living goddess so celebrate the health purity and courage by making good use of the thyme
